2. The sensation of burning during urination
Burning in your urine is often used as a punchline to jokes involving STDs. There’s actually science backing all those jokes up. Chlamydia and gonorrhea are very common STDs, and both of them will lead to a strong burning sensation whenever you empty your bladder. That being said, sexually transmitted diseases aren’t the only things that could cause burning urine.
Most cases of cystitis are the result of a bacterial infection in your urinary tract. This infection can lead to a burning sensation whenever your urine passes through the urinary tract. Still, if you suspect that the burning sensation during urination may be due to an STD rather than cystitis then getting yourself tested for both would be wise so that you can pinpoint the issue and undergo the right type of treatment.
